Jimmy Carter: Once a Liberal, Always a Liberal!

This article at American Vision shows that the worst President of my lifetime isn't very good at hermeneutics either!

So, You Wanna Be A Rock Star?

Imagine the feeling...

You walk on stage, the crowd is roaring, the smoke machines billow, the lights are flashing, the girls are screaming and fainting all over the place. You are the star of the show. It's all about you! This is your moment to shine! You're about to give the audience the show of a lifetime!

Now back to reality...

What I've described seems to be what some preachers are seeking these days. I've actually seen videos and heard audio clips of certain ministers taking the pulpit while the audience cheers as if Nickelback has just taken the stage. In fact, with some preachers it's obvious, they want the spotlight on them. They want denominational fame. They desire to have all eyes on them and to be the stars of the show!

A few years ago, before I left the Pentecostal movement, I attended a service at a very progressive Pentecostal church not far from here just to see what the buzz was all about. I was amazed at what I witnessed. Though it was a small church just outside of the city limits of a rural Georgia town, it had all the trappings of a secular rock concert. It was a real circus.

They had everything a despiser of God could want: flashing lights, smoke machines, loud music, and plenty of man-centered "praise and worship" that had little to no theology or true reverence for God. It was just awful. One thing that stood out to me was how the preacher was escorted to and from the pulpit flanked by ushers sporting Secret Service type communication equipment. It was obvious that this pastor was much too important to spend any time mingling with the commoners. Needless to say, I never returned...

If you're in the ministry and you desire to be the star of the show and have church services like I described above, let me give you some candid advice. If truly want be cheered by thousands of adoring fans, then Gospel ministry is not what you need to be doing! Go buy yourself a guitar, learn to play it, and then start your own garage band. Maybe if your real lucky, you might be a rock star someday, but whatever you do, don't waste your time pretending to be a minister of God.

God has called us to preach the Word and be a servant in His Kingdom. He hasn't called us to be the stars of the show. Whenever we begin to think we're the stars of the show, we have fallen into a grievous sin. I believe any praise we receive as ministers should immediately be directed to God, we have no right to it. We have nothing in which to boast. It's all about Him. It's His show. He's the Star. He should be the main attraction.

Brothers, we are not rock stars!

Man Survives Fall From 47 stories, Luck and Physics Credited!

You've probably heard about the New York window washer who survived a 500ft fall when his scaffolding collapsed. Even though he should have been splatted like a bug on a car windshield, doctors say he may even walk again!

While many people are calling it a miracle, at least one genius quoted in the article I read still wants to credit anything but God:

"Evolution didn't give us a body that could survive a drop from that distance but with a combination of luck and physics you can in fact survive one of these falls," said Michio Kaku professor of physics at City University of New York.

I think this quote is an outrageous example of denying the obvious. I reckon giving credit to luck and physics for the man's survival isn't too hard to do when you have enough faith to be an Evolutionist!

Evangelists: Fools For Christ?

I was once a State Evangelist for the Church of God of Prophecy (COGOP) in Georgia. As State Evangelist, I wasn't very successful at getting bookings. I think I was only booked for one revival service the entire time I was on staff. In the annals of the greatest failures as Pentecostal evangelists, I'll certainly be ranked at the top!

Many reasons could be cited for why, but I will give four: (1) it obviously wasn't the Lord's will, (2) because I wasn't a member of one of a well known family in the Georgia COGOP, (3) I refused to stoop to the level of becoming a cheesy self-promoting conference hoping religious politician with a goofy grin on my face and a bunch of business cards in my hand, and (4) I'm just not a great preacher to begin with!

I was once told by a seasoned evangelist that the best way for me to get known was to "get in the back pocket of some of the Bishops in the church and ride on their coattails". Like many occupations in the world, I learned that the success of a COGOP evangelist really depended on who you knew -and just knowing Christ wasn't enough! It didn't take me long to realize that I wasn't going to be much of a State Evangelist unless I learned to be good at the fine art of schmoozing. Not long after this epiphany, I resigned the position of Georgia State Evangelist.

In 1 Corinthians 4:10, Paul told the church that the apostles were "fools for Christ's sake", but some folks seem to have taken that verse a bit too literally and applied it to evangelists as well. This morning I spent some time perusing through some websites of certain Baptist evangelists and some of what I saw really bothered me. Moreover, some of what I saw really pained my soul. In the name of "soul winning" some men have resorted to becoming more like court jesters than heralds and ambassadors of the Kingdom of God!

When you look at some evangelist websites, you will often see great claims about how many revival meetings have been conducted and "decisions made for Christ". When I see these numbers touted, I'm not impressed at all. Statistics have shown that modern evangelistic methods have a fall-away rate of about 90%, it makes the statistical boasting of some evangelists about as abominable as an Obstetrician claiming to have delivered thousands of babies, only to learn that 9 out of 10 of those births were stillborn. Modern evangelism and it's pragmatism is a tragedy, not something in which to boast!


When one considers all the magicians, comedians, clowns, and ventriloquists that churches bring in to conduct revival services, is it any wonder that the message of the Christ is not taken seriously and so many people fall away after a "decision for Christ"? Do we really believe that we can entertain people into faith and repentance?

Some will argue that these methods are needed in order to get people in church to hear the Word. Perhaps, but I'm of the opinion that the primary place of evangelism isn't within the church meeting, but in the world. We should evangelize sinners so they might be saved and come to church in order to be discipled from the Word of God. Trying to gear the church service to appeal to sinners is shortchanging Christ's sheep and bound to fill our pews with false converts and future apostates.

I recently heard (or read) somewhere that some full time evangelists are concerned about their future. I'm glad! Some of them need to be! Maybe it will goad some of them into forsaking the silly methods they employ. Frankly, there's a number of them that need to start preaching the unadulterated gospel or quit and get secular job! It's time to put an end results driven revivalism. If not reigned in, these man-centered evangelistic methods will continue too produce thousands of false converts who will eventually fall away.

Now, I realize what I have just written may have just ruffled more than a few feathers. Don't misunderstand, I'm not against evangelists, nor am I against people using their talents for the glory of God. In fact, I wish there were more Christian entertainers. It would be nice to take the family to a show or a movie where we could be entertained by someone using his or her talents for God's glory. However, I think these things have their proper place and that place isn't behind the pulpit.

I also know there are some evangelists who are faithful in preaching God's Word. I thank God for these men. They men need to be commended, supported, and booked for revivals. I have a hunch that many of the best evangelists are probably the ones who don't have to tell you how great they are, rather, they are the ones who's reputation for being used of God will far exceed any boasting or conversion statistics they can put on a website.

Let us make no mistake, the Gospel is powerful! It's the preaching of the gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit that converts a sinner! It's not the Howdy Doody Show or some second rate side show attraction that the church needs to fulfill it's commission, rather, it's personal evangelism, the faithful exposition of God's Word, and the power of the Holy Spirit that we need.

Let us pray and seek God for a true revival!

Eye Opening Video

I said I wouldn't do it...

I had never even been tempted until after I had the DVD in my procession.

Though I figured it was going to sting a bit, I just couldn't resist it. The temptation was too much. I gave into to it. I just couldn't help myself. I inserted the DVD into the computer and then hit the play button...

Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!


Two words: Painful Experience!

What was on the DVD?

Me.

It was a video of me preaching!

Here's a few things I noticed right away:

• My voice sounds WAY TOO MUCH like Joel Osteen.


• I speak too fast..
• I need to enunciate...


• I move around way too much...


• I say "you see" way too much...


• I'm one handsome devil...!


• Uh, that was a joke...
• Oh yeah... I repeat "Lord" way too much when I pray...

I've never thought I was God's gift to the pulpit, but I'll tell you, it's difficult to watch. I can't even stand to hear my voice being played back on a audio recording so this is especially humbling. I guess there's one good thing about watching this DVD: now I know what I need to do to improve.

On the way to the Battlefield...

We just got back from visiting my wife's clan in Florida. It was a good trip. Yesterday, I took the family to Dade Battlefield, a State Park in Bushnell, FL.

Dade Battlefield is where a group of Seminoles ambushed a column of U.S. Army soldiers under the command of Major Francis J. Dade.

Maj. Dade was cut down in the first volley of the ambush and all but three of the soldiers were killed: one of my ancestors was among the dead. This event sparked the 2ND Seminole Indian War.

As much as I love history and would like to continue writing about Dade Battlefield, that's not the reason why I am writing. It's actually an old fashioned Rant about something that chapped my hide!

On the way to the battlefield, we went through a small Central Florida city named Center Hill. As we traveled through the rural town, my wife spotted a church sign. The sign belonged to the Presbyterian Church in Center Hill. What it said was even more sad that the silly cliches I see on most church signs... This REALLY bugged me.

What was it that bugged me even more than a message saying "Walmart isn't the only saving place."

Get ready...

Here it comes...

The Center Hill Presbyterian Church was advertising the dates and times that they were going to be playing the Transformers Movie and Shrek the Third.

This astonished me. Almost outraged me. I wish I had stopped and taken a picture...

Why not Amazing Grace?

Even a discourse on the Westminster Confession would be nice...

Here's a revolutionary idea: Why not try preach something from the Bible?

"How could a church fall so far?," I asked myself...

Then I did a bit of research on the Center Hill Presbyterian Church and found the answer:

It's PCUSA.

How could I expect anything more?

For churches belonging to this [largely] apostate denomination, Transformers and Shrek are probably more "edifying" than anything that comes from the pulpit...

Loathsome Clichés!

The longer I'm a Christian, the more I become annoyed all the silly cliché sayings that we use... Many of these figures of evangelical speech sound silly and most are not based on Scripture. What's worse, is these clichés have a very bad influence on the theology of laity. I've observed that the theological framework of some people is based more upon these oft repeated clichés than anything actually found in Scripture!

Here's a few of the ones I hate the most and I've included a brief explanation of why:

1. "Don't put God in a box."

Reason I don't like it:

God won't fit in any box: He's infinite. This silly saying is often used by people who want to justify some aberrant practice or something that they want to blame on God, but don't have any Scripture to back it with.

2. "Let Go and Let God."

Reason I don't like it:

God is Sovereign, we don't "let" Him do anything. He does what He wants, when He wants. Even is human activities seem to hinder something God's doing, it's only because God allows it for some reason known only to Him.

3. "Accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour."

Reason I don't like it:

What Bible verse is this based upon anyway? The Lord Jesus isn't the one who needs our acceptance: we need His!! Repent and Believe the Gospel is what we should be telling sinners!!!

Okay, there's my top three. There's many more I could list, but I want to let my readers weigh in on the subject.

Feel free to submit your most hated cliché saying(s) in my combox!

Be sure to include the reason why you don't like the cliché!!

Motivation for Homeschooling #276

Rational, Reasonable, Atheism!

Getting the Point Across to Republicans 101

As a Conservative Christian voter, I have to admit that the Republican Party sure knew how to pull my strings for the past decade. I don't look to the Government as some sort of savior, nor do I believe the Republican party is "Christian", but I have voted Republican almost exclusively since I was 18 years old. Lately, it seems like they've dropped the ball on just about all the issues that I think are important.

Quite frankly, I believe they forsook the values of those who got them elected and they paid for it in the last election cycle by losing the House and Senate to the Democrats. If the Republicans don't get their act together, they will pay even more dearly by losing the White House in '08.


Being the disgruntled Republican that I am, I decided to cut off the RNC from the few dollars they've normally crooked out of me each year. They have responded to that with a constant barrage of letters reminding me that they are the Party of Ronald Reagan, begging me for money, and passionately telling me how important my membership in the RNC really is... (As if the fate of the Free World depends on my membership and $25.00! Yeah, right!!)


I have tried to get them to see that they aren't getting anymore of my stinky little Federal Reserve notes and that I no longer wish to communicate with them. Yet, like those heretical Prosperity Preachers on TBN, they continue to harass me with letters that promise me the world -but for a small fee.

One of the greatest examples of Republican failure (outside of abortion) has been on illegal immigration. Last year the INS and Georgia officials did a sting operation in our area (which I believe was simply a stunt to help get our Governor reelected). I kid you not, during that sting operation, 90% of the Mexican population in our area vanished!! Prior to that operation, I thought 1 in 10 were illegal, but as it turned out, about 9 out of 10 were illegal! The illegals that did not get caught in the sting either hid in the woods or fled to points unknown until "la Migra" left town.



While I was glad they finally did something, I couldn't help but be angry that the government let things get that bad before they did something. From the looks of the banner I found on the GOP website, I think the Republicans have some more sinister plans for all these illegals: grant them amnesty, fast track them to citizenship, and then trick them into voting Republican!


Because I am such a philanthropist and a die hard Republican at heart, today I could no longer turn a deaf ear to their pleas for my hard earned cash. Therefore I responded by sending them some BIG MONEY! Hopefully when the "money" arrives they'll get the point:

Tominthebox News Network: Armenians protest being called Arminians

Tominthebox takes a humorous look at the frequent confusion that abounds in regards to the spelling of the word "Arminian!"

Who's the REAL Hate Group??

A few weekends ago, I was doing some searching on the net. Somehow I came across the website of the Southern Poverty Law Center. The SPLC was founded by Morris Dees and Joe Levin, in order to work for "civil rights" during the 70's. In addition to tracking hate groups, these days the SPLC is into promoting "tolerance" -and apparently, destroying anything that's good and moral in the world also....

As I was looking around their website, I saw something that disturbed me: on their "hate map" and on a page listing hate groups active in 2006, they have a ministry known as American Vision listed as a "general hate group"!!

When I saw AV listed, I really got concerned! I mean really, American Vision (AV), a hate group? What are these people smoking!!?? I've read books by AV's president, Gary DeMar; I've read AV's monthly magazine from cover to cover for 6 months; I read their daily emails; and I even have a 12 part DVD series featuring Gary DeMar speaking on eschatology, but I have NEVER seen one sentence that would lead me to think that the folks at American Vision hate anybody!

I suspect what draws AV fire from the SPLC is their firm stance against abortion, homosexuality and the godless worldview embraced by Liberals in America. AV is no hate group. All I can see from coming from them indicates to me that they are a Christian ministry dedicated to the truth of Scripture, therefore, I suspect that's why the SPLC fears their ideas so much.

You see, though the SPLC may do some good by tracking real hate groups such as the KKK and Neo-Nazis, I think time will show that the SPLC is going to increasingly focus it's attention upon Christian groups -and individual Christians- who take a firm stand upon the teaching of Scripture, morality, or a propose politically incorrect view of American History.

If you ask me, it appears as if the the SPLC has appointed itself to be America's thought police. So, watch out, if you or your organization doesn't subscribe to their popular liberal, Socialist agenda, you are fair game for a spot on their "hate map" and an "intelligence report" being sent to law enforcement with your organization's name on it.

The SPLC's libel of American Vision has been addressed in an article by Gary DeMar. In that article he writes:

"American Vision must be doing something right. We have been targeted by a number of anti-Christian groups because of our stance on homosexuality. We find ourselves in the company of Focus on the Family, American Family Association, Alliance Defense Fund, Coral Ridge Ministries, Concerned Women for America, Family Research Council, Family Research Institute, and other pro-family groups. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), run by its co-founder Morris Dees, has listed us as a “hate group” under the “other” category on their website. In fact, if you add up all the people in America who support any of the above ministries, the number would be in the millions."

American Vision is not the only benevolent group being labeled/libeled a "hate group." The SPLC even seems to be be setting it's sights the Sons of Confederate Veterans -an organization to which I personally belong-which is no hate group, but rather an honorable organization dedicated to "the defense of the Confederate soldier's good name, the guardianship of his history, the emulation of his virtues, the perpetuation of those principles which he loved."

Granted, I cannot personally vouch that all 30,000+ members of the SCV are free from racist attitudes (nor could I vouch for that with all the members of the Southern Baptist Convention, the NAACP, or the Boy Scouts!) but I do know that as an organization, the commitments of the SCV have nothing to do with hate or race, but everything to do with heritage and preservation of history (for the record, the SCV has "non-white" members!).

Pastors, don't dismiss the SPLC threat too quickly... I can almost assure you that the SPLC is lobbying Congress to ensure your sermons about homosexuality will soon be labeled "hate speech." If that happens, you can spend time behind bars for simply teaching what the Bible says about homosexuality or other sins that are in vogue these days. You see, the SPLC doesn't want to lynch people. No, no, there's not enough money to be gained from that! The SPLC only wants to raise lots of money, file civil lawsuits, and eventually have everyone put in jail who violates the "tolerant" worldview that they want everyone to be subjected to...

The bottom line is this: The SPLC is fueled by an anti-Christian Liberal agenda and will stop at nothing to silence anyone who believes the Bible too much, waives a Confederate Flag too high, or believes that a family consists of one husband, one wife, and "2.3 children." I believe in time to come -unless the Lord grants a great revival and turns the tide of things in the U.S.- Christians in our nation may increasingly find themselves the targets of harassment from secular thought police such as the SPLC.

"If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you." (John 15:18-19 KJV)

(I originally posted this article on my Confederate Chaplain blog. I checked the hit counter a day or two later and I found that my blog had been visited by an SPLC computer in Montgomery, AL.!! I'm sure this article got their attention, so don't be surprised if you see Rhett's Rants and The Conferate Chaplain listed on an SPLC "Intelligence Report" in the near future! The way I see it, if the SPLC has enough time on it's hands to be tracking somebody like me, then I reckon there's not much real hate left in the world afterall!)

New Baptist Church Covenant for 2007

"Having been led, as we believe, by the feeling we got during the sermon we heard last Sunday, to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal Savior by the raising of our hand and repeating of the Sinner's Prayer during an altar call, having been baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, we do now, in the presence of the Pastor, and the Deacons, most solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with one another as one of the many Baptist churches in this small town.

We engage, therefore, by the aid of frequent pot-luck dinners, to eat together in Christian charity; to strive for the advancement of the Republican Party, in campaigns, primaries, and the general elections; to promote our own prosperity and ease of life, not neglecting to attend Masonic Lodge meetings; and to care nothing at all about sound doctrine; to contribute every now and then to the local church for the support of the cooperative program, the entertainment of the church, the relief of the Humane Society, the spreading of the Southern Baptist Convention in all nations, so we will look good when our statistics are compared to other churches.

We also engage to maintain family and secret gossip; to educate our children in government schools; to seek to end Global Warming; to promote Antinomianism in the world; to be victorious in our lawsuits, faithful in our 2nd and/or 3rd marriages, and work for the deportment of the 12 million illegal aliens currently residing in the USA; to avoid all restaurants that serve alcohol, as well as avoid Wednesday evening prayer meetings and all Sunday Evening services; to abstain from the sale of, and use of, destructive literature containing Reformed Soteriology; to shun Bible reading, Systematic Theology, and Speaking in Tongues; to be overzealous in our efforts to advance the sale of Dr. Page's "Trouble with The Tulip".

We further engage to watch over one another like "big brother"; to remember one another on our birthdays; to send cards to one another in sickness and distress; to cultivate Christian self-esteem and warm fuzzy feelings, and to refrain from cursing or smoking cigarettes in front of the preacher; to be slow to take offense except in business meetings or during a sermon, but always be mindful of the rules of Parliamentary Procedure and to secure a copy of Robert's Rules of Order without delay.

We moreover engage that when we eventually do get our feelings hurt and leave this church we will, as soon as we get around to it, unite with some other church where we can carry out a study of The Purpose Driven Life and apply the principles of Your Best Life Now."

Proposed SBC Anti-Calvinism Resolution Leaked to Public

The Baptist News Network Press -Savannah, GA.

Anonymous sources have informed The Baptist News Network Press that the recently formed Southern Baptist Counter Reformation Task Force (or "SBCTRF") will introduce an anti-Calvinism resolution during the 2009 Southern Baptist Convention that will be held in Louisville, Kentucky.

Why wait until 2009 in Louisville, KY.?

Our sources tell us that Louisville was picked because of the location of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (SBTS), and also because it will give the SBCRTF time to gain grassroots level support for their resolution. SBTS is considered by the SBCRTF to be a "training camp for the Calvinist Taliban insurgency." Other sources within the SBCRTF tell us that the passage of this resolution in Louisville will be a significant blow to Calvinists and may perhaps be "the final nail in the coffin of this so-called 'Reformed Resurgence.'"

Below is a transcript of the resolution that was leaked to The Baptist News Network Press earlier today:


The 2009 SBC Anti-Calvinism Resolution

WHEREAS, Southern Baptists should be taught that the initials "J.C." stand for Jesus Christ and not John Calvin; and

WHEREAS, we've all read Dave Hunt's "What Love is This?"; and

WHEREAS, Calvinism stifles evangelism, kills churches, and complicates the doctrine of "Once Saved, Always Saved"; and

WHEREAS, John Calvin was a beret wearing, wine drinking, snail eating, baby baptizing Frenchman; and

WHEREAS, the French are bad for not supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom; and

WHEREAS, John Calvin ruled Geneva like Fidel Castro rules Cuba; and

WHEREAS, John Calvin brutally murdered Michael Servetus, in cold blood, for no apparent reason; and

WHEREAS, whereas the late Jerry Falwell declared "Limited Atonement" a heresy; and

WHEREAS, Billy Graham is not a Calvinist; and

WHEREAS, whereas Calvinists are worse than Muslims; and

WHEREAS, we were "Elected because we selected"; and

WHEREAS, Calvinism produces legalistic resolutions about church membership integrity; and

WHEREAS, Calvinism created opposition to a sensible resolution concerning the total prohibition and eradication of all alcoholic beverages from the face of the planet; and

WHEREAS, Calvinists have been known to fall in the floor -seized in Charismatic type fits of laughter- while reading Dr. Page's "Trouble with the Tulip"; and

WHEREAS, Calvinism leads to attendance of Together for The Gospel conferences which can lead to too close of contact with Charismatics such as C.J. Mahaney; and

WHERAS, Calvinism leads to attendance of Ligonier Conferences which in turn leads to too close of contact with Presbyterians such as R.C. Sproul; and

WHEREAS, Calvinism leads Baptists to doubt Dispensational theology and the Pre-Tribulational Rapture; and

WHEREAS, Calvinism has lead to a drop in Baptism numbers throughout the Southern Baptist Convention; and

WHEREAS, Calvinism has lead to the explosive growth of Reformed blogs where people criticize the great evangelist Charles Grandison Finney; and

WHEREAS, we have not been able to silence Calvinist bloggers; and

WHEREAS, Calvinism makes God the author of sin; and

WHEREAS, Calvinism denies God's chief attribute which is omnibenevolence; and

WHEREAS, Calvinism denies Free Will and makes man into a robot; and

WHEREAS, we know that God gives His Grace to all who deserve it when they simply raise their hand during an altar call; therefore, be it

RESOLVED, that we the messengers to the Southern Baptist Convention being assembled in Louisville Kentucky hereby condemn Calvinistic theology as heresy; and be it further

RESOLVED, that the entire Southern Baptist Convention repent of any Calvinistic beliefs held in previous years and then rewrite Convention history as to exclude any references to having believed Calvinistic theology at all; and be it further

RESOLVED, that we urge all Southern Baptist entities to summarily fire any and all pastors or employees who hold to the "Five Points of Calvinism"; and be it further

RESOLVED, that we urge all Southern Baptist entities to conduct background checks, polygraph tests, and wire taps on all future candidates for employment to determine if applicants Calvinists; and be it further

RESOLVED, that all applicants found to be Calvinists should not be considered for employment; and be it finally

RESOLVED, that the Southern Baptist Convention shall auction off the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary to the highest bidding Presbyterian denomination.

Not a Satire...

I love good satire.

While the article I am about to link to might read like something from Tominthebox, it's not satire at all -it's for real!

Click to here to read the news article entitled, "I am both Muslim and Christian"

This is worse than Ergun Caner's "I'm not Arminian; I'm not Calvinist; I'm a Baptist" confession...
